A group of ice cream shops with roots in New York City will be expanding to the Boston area.
Based on a post within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants group page and the website for the business, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is planning to open three outlets locally--in Boston's Seaport District, the Harvard Square section of Cambridge, and The Street Chestnut Hill. The business got its start as a truck in NYC in 2008, and now has shops in seven states along with Washington, DC, and its ice cream is also sold in various supermarkets and specialty stores.
The website for Van Leeuwen Ice Cream can be found at https://vanleeuwenicecream.com/
[April 12 update: A Facebook post from the business indicates that the Chestnut Hill location of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream opens today.]
[September 30 update: Caught in Southie mentions that the Seaport District location of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is now open.]
